The Kings got on the scoreboard, and cut the Sharks’ lead to 3-1, with exactly nine minutes remaining in the second period. Ryan Smyth shot from the outer edge of the left faceoff circle and Niemi made the save, but couldn’t control the rebound. Brad Richardson swooped behind the net and knocked in the puck.
Amazing what a timeout will do, eh TM?

Wow would you imagine that. The coach takes a timeout, and the team responds by stopping the onslaught and scoring a goal. Who woulda thunk it?

Kings better make em pay.

Until we find a way to stop that cross ice pass to the trailer, we will not be able to beat SJ.

@Slim,
I agree, but this was the same weakness that burned us in last year’s playoff against VAN and SJ burned us with it earlier in this series on a multitude of goals. If we had a more potent offense, I would feel more confidence.

@DesertKing,
Well DesertKing, maybe I’ll let YOU pick up the mantle. I’ve been saying for two years now that they Absolutely need more speed and skill up front. How they’re gonna manage that I don’t know. That’s why I do what I do and why DL is a GM.
WE LOVE YOU RICHIE!

Let’s do this. Wish this crowd would get loud. Sounds dead on tv.

Wow thought Niemi snagged that at first
[Reply]
Bad penalty Williams
[Reply]
So let me see if I’ve got this straight. Brad Richardson and Cliffy between them have FOUR goals in four games. Poni (20 goal scorer), Penner (30 goal scorer) and Simmer have how many between them? How many? That’s just bloody depressing. Sorry that doesn’t cut it.
How sad is that. A grinder line has to go and show everyone else how to play hockey? If you guys aren’t happy I don’t blame you. DL has some work to do. I’ll tell you that. And Awful timing by Greene down already by 2 goals.

@number 6, Simmonds has been playing great, and has been a part of quite a few goals.
Penner… He needs to watch Brown a little bit and learn how to play hockey. Brown just pushes everyone out of his way to make a scoring chance. Penner could do that as well if he wanted to.

Thank you a fan that sticks in the game..
And doesn’t give up when things look down..

Has Richie deserved a contract renewal yet?
[Reply]
I’m honestly beginning to have questions about TM. I never have before. I’ll change my mind if they come back, but honestly where the h…. is the discipline? All the penalties, especially when you’re losing in the 2nd period of an essentially must win game. A team that has difficulty scoring.
Someone has to instill some sort of balance here. Not only that, but the Young guys are doing essentially everything right and the vets are taking bad penalties? Penner the other night and now Greene and JW?

I like how our #1 line is actually the worst line this series and not doing much

Oh HELL YES! Cheers, Vlasic

I wish we could get this version of Penner every game. He hasn’t scored but is looking good from the small part of the game I have seen.
